Tour Dates: Desaparecidos Drop Dates

While it remains to be seen whether or not Conor Oberst was serious about hanging up his Bright Eyes moniker, the wordy singer-songwriter has decided to revive his old side-project – Desaparecidos. The politically charged, punk-y hardcore band have only seen sparse action over the last decade since the release their lone studio album Read Music/Speak Spanish all the way back in 2002. This past summer Oberst dusted the band off, releasing the single MariKKKopa/Backsell, which took aim at Arizona’s controversial Sheriff Joe Arpaio and the state’s immigration laws, as well as taking them out for a short tour. Oberst has revealed that they will hit the road again early next year for a nine-date East Coast run, that kicks off on February 15 at the historic Stony Pony in Asbury Park.
